Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall A+
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Mondon Jr.: A+.

The Bengals spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Smael Mondon Jr., the No. 102 name on the board, in the Round 6 slot. They executed a plan and it shows in the A+.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Bengals paired the rookies with proven help, Justin Jefferson leading the way. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick81 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Somehow Kaleb Johnson was still sitting there in No. 81, and they pounced on premier running back value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick117 Rnd4 Omarr Norman-Lott
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Omarr Norman-Lott in the 117th overall pick, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jake Majors
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach the 152nd pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick191 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to Round 6, Pick 16, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
